In the conference room, it was unusually quiet at the moment. It's quiet and even a little scary. To use an old-fashioned phrase, now a needle can be heard when it falls to the ground.

Zhang Chu and Liu Xiahua looked at the white paper unfolded in my hand. The two of them seemed to be holding their breath. And I, in fact, read the contents of this letter several times last night. But in such a serious and tense atmosphere at the moment, I had to be nervous.

Zhang Chu finally spoke: "Xiaofei." This letter was written to you by Professor Wang before his death. Since it is written to you, it must also have his purpose. Read the letter and tell us what you think. Because you are a person close to Professor Wang, your right to speak is also crucial to this case. ”

I feel that my throat is so dry, probably because of nervousness. Picking up a glass of water and taking a big sip of water, I picked up the letter and read it:

Hello Xiaofei,

By the time you read this letter, I'm probably dead. Don't be surprised, I'm a university professor, a highly educated intellectual. However, I am also a fatalist. I have always firmly believed that life and death are destined for wealth and prosperity. So, I think maybe my death is inevitable.

Therefore, if you feel guilty because of my death, please don't feel guilty. Because, all this is fate. We are all pawns of fate, and we are all characters in the book of fate. The only difference is that I'm on the first page and you're on the penultimate page. Whether it's the first page or the penultimate page, it's just a book of destiny, and everything is just back to the beginning.

So, since you can't change it, then be brave enough to accept it! I'm gone, but you still have to face it!

My ancestors were an ordinary family. However, that is only a superficial phenomenon. My family, in fact, has had a mission since more than 1,000 years ago: to protect a number of national treasures. 1,000 years ago, China was still in the era of the Song Dynasty. In that year, Jingkang was difficult, and the Great Song Dynasty was invaded. In order to protect a batch of treasures of the Song Dynasty at that time. Our ancestors divided the whole family into ten branches, each of which guarded a treasure. It can be said that it is precisely because of the protection of the ten branches of our entire family that this batch of treasures with a total of ten treasures has finally been preserved in the long river of history and has not been baptized by war. And our entire family calls themselves "treasure keepers". Of course, this title is known only to people within our family.

Because these treasures are very precious, for the sake of prudence, the "treasure keepers" of our ten branches have deliberately wandered all over the country and have no contact with each other. Also so that "all eggs can't be put in one basket". Here's the advantage of not being in touch with each other: if one branch is in trouble, he doesn't know what is going on with the other nine, at least not all of them. This arrangement is also to do the greatest possible effort to protect the safety of this batch of national treasures.

Although the "treasure keepers" of our ten branches do not usually contact each other, they still have a special set of gestures and passwords. Our ancestors had instructed that if there was an emergency, the descendants of the ten branches could be urgently gathered in a special and covert way. However, more than 1,000 years have passed, and our ten branches of "treasure keepers" have been scattered all over the country and have never gathered.

My ancestor was the first branch of the "Treasure Keepers". What we are guarding is a strange treasure. Sorry, I can't tell you what it is at the moment. But, according to legend, this treasure, with magical abilities, is a treasure from ancient times in legends. So, for China, this is a priceless treasure! Therefore, my ancestors have always guarded this treasure.

When my father was serving as a "treasure keeper", he encountered the Sino-Japanese War. To protect the treasures of our guards. At the cost of losing an arm, he protected the treasure from being taken away by the invaders.

Later, when I reached the age of 18, I automatically inherited my father's mission and became a "treasure keeper", taking on the responsibility of guarding this treasure that our group guarded.

We are "treasure keepers", and we pay the most attention to "inheritance". Therefore, there is a group training on the ancestors, and each generation of "treasure keepers" must get married and have children. The reason for this is also to have future generations, so that the responsibilities of the "treasure keeper" can be passed on from generation to generation.

It's a pity that I'm not angry, and I haven't married and had children. And I recently met the people of that organization, and I think that the organization will do whatever it takes to get the treasures that our "treasure keepers" are guarding. My life is destined to protect treasures. Even if you lose your life, you will not hesitate to lose it.

I feel that my ability can no longer protect this treasure. In addition, I have no descendants, and I am doomed to have no one to inherit. So, on my own initiative, I decided to hand over this treasure to the state. I believe that only a strong motherland can protect this treasure. I also believe that my ancestors will forgive me and agree with my decision.

Ever since I met you, I have felt that you are a good person. Smart, honest, kind, and trustworthy. As a people's policeman, you are a very good people's policeman. I especially see that you often come to visit me, shush the cold and ask for warmth, and I really feel as kind as my grandson. So, I made up my mind to give you this letter in the name of a book donation. I'm sure with your ingenuity you can spot this letter, right? I'm old, and I'm probably going to die soon. Therefore, I will leave the mission of guarding this treasure and handing it over to the state. I hope you'll forgive me for being presumptuous. Because, I only trust you, Officer Cheng Fei.

However, due to the importance of the matter, I don't dare to directly say the specific content of the treasure here, because if this letter is intercepted by someone from that organization, it will be an unimaginable consequence!

So, I'm going to leave a mystery here. I believe that with your ingenuity and ability, you will be able to solve this mystery and finally find my hidden treasure!

Finally, I, a dying man, beg you once again: find my hidden treasure and hand it over to the state safely! I believe in your abilities! Come on, Dumbo!

Ah, after talking for a long time, I haven't even said the riddle. Sure enough, people are old and useless, and the mystery is coming, pay attention:

In the ocean of knowledge, you indulge in it.

Literature is the shortest way to a lonely boat, but sometimes it encounters waves as high as 22 stories high.

There are some things, don't be blinded by appearances.

Break through the surface and you will find the truth.

Well, that's the mystery. Let's get moving, Officer Cheng Fei.

I put down the letter and gave it to Zhang. Zhang Chu glanced at it quickly, and then handed it to Liu Xiahua. Liu Xiahua took a look at it and said to us: "After a preliminary look, combined with the handwriting of Professor Wang's usual letters seen at the scene of the crime that day, this letter should be Professor Wang's handwriting, not like a fake." ”

Zhang Chu does not doubt the authenticity of the letter. What he was curious about was this mystery. He looked at it for a long time, took out the walkie-talkie, and then pressed the PTT button and said: "Attention to the personnel of the 10th Division, please all the members of the intelligence group immediately assemble in Conference Room 4." Complete. ”

Then Zhang Chu raised the letter and said to me: "Xiaofei, you still have to complete the task that Professor Wang gave you. We're here to help you! ”

At the moment, my nose is a little sour, and the usually kind Professor Wang comes to life in my mind. I clenched my fists and nodded firmly: Professor Wang, don't worry! I will definitely fulfill your request!
